Petz,

<Chuck, your complaints about the server chips are ridiculous. >

When did I ever complain about "the server chips". The chips are fine it is the managment/marketing/sales that stink.

<They are faster than Intel's fastest and use much less power. >

We are in agreement here. So, why do you think AMD can't get around to selling these chips to top tier guys? Unless you understand the answer to that question, you wouldn't even begin to understand what I have been saying.

<The server launch is occuring exactly as I would have expected it. Starting with small manufacturers. To expect anything else is unrealistic if not impossible.>

So, you have very low expectations.

<If AMD had come out with these chips in December, the first big OEM would not announce a product on the first week or month of it's release.>

I mcompletely miss what you are trying to say here. Your point is....

<Do you think AMD management purposely delayed the server chip CPU's or the chipset? If not, and the delay is your biggest complaint, then you are not blaming management, you are blaming AMD's engineers.>

That tells me that you don't know first thing about marketing/engineering/program management.

<If you want to do that, fine, call a spade a spade and blame them: "AMD engineers suck because they took 6 months longer than I wanted them to.">

I think AMD engineering is pretty darned good. So, why would I say that?

Chuck
